The State of the Map is the perfect opportunity to meet the people who share your passion for OpenStreetMap. In one room you have the people who run the servers, write the editors, design the cartography and some of the most dedicated mappers on the planet.

This year’s event will feature talks from a host of favorites, including OpenStreetMap Founder and OSM-F Chairman, Steve Coast. The State of the Map starts on Friday 9th July with the Pro Users’ Day – a day dedicated to the use of OSM data by businesses, governments and NGOs. Saturday and Sunday will feature talks, workshops and panels featuring the leading lights of the OpenStreetMap community.
